Shift work problems?
Maybe night shift workers can offer me some advices. I will soon regain my job as a product laberer, second shift, Mon-Fri from 2:30pm to 9:30pm. I usually get home at 10pm then at 11:30pm I go to bed. But although I appreciate the fact that I don't work during the night, second shift has some challanges for me. First my mother is annoying and wakes me up at 6am sometimes when she finds something on Facebook that she wants translated. On the days when she lets me I usually get up at 8am. In the weekends I'm off and I go to bed at 9pm then get up at 5:30-6am. There were evenings when I would get very sleepy at work at around 8pm, especially on the days when my mother would wake me up for little reasons. There was even a time when I felt I would almost fall asleep on my way home in the transportation bus (a special bus for me and my workmates). With my eating habits I am well, I eat a large breakfast, then a snack at 1pm before going to work if I need, I eat at 4pm at work then at 10pm a light meal before bed.
What advices do you have for me so that second shift can be easier for me? Thank you!
